Abstract

|
Objective : The studies on liver effect in administration of western medicine have been well-established so far, but the studies on liver effect in administration or herbal medicine haven’t been made. To make things worse, people who have liver disease generally believe that taking a herbal medicine is not useful to take care or their disease and even think it can cause liver disease. But this belief is not verified at all. And some doctor claim that herbal medicine is good to cure liver disease. So those various assertion makes patients to feel confuse about taking a herbal medicine. so we feel the need to study about how taking herb medicine affect to liver disease patient.
Methods : First we chose the 12 patient who seems to have the liver disease on the index of biochemistry test and we administrate the herbal medicine and after several day or weeks we recheck the biochemistry test.
Results : Through the this method, we find the positive effect of taking herbal medicine on the patients who have the liver disease.
Conclusions : Our results give no evidence that herbal medicine is harmful for liver disease. We need to study more about this.
